In my experience being part of the gym was a 10/10. The coach is patient, understandable and cool person to be around. Good atmosphere to meet new supportive people.
Awesome gym! Super welcoming vibe from day one — no egos, just good people who want to help you get better. The coach is great at teaching and actually takes the time to make sure you’re learning the right way. Whether you’re brand new or have some experience, you’ll feel right at home here. Highly recommend checking it out
Checked out a variety of gyms in the area offering BJJ and kickboxing. This place stood out to me with the pricing and schedule offerings. When I trained for the first time, Coach Manny helped me realize how much I had to learn and had me focus on the basics. I can't say much has changed in my 4 visits, but it keeps getting more interesting and fun each time I train.
If your on the fence about it do the free trial, experience more than one class, and sign up!
Coach Manny is an outstanding instructor with deep knowledge of striking, grappling, and overall fight strategy. His ability to break down techniques and push students to improve is second to none. Whether you’re training for competition or just looking to get in the best shape of your life, he ensures that every class is challenging yet rewarding.
The gym itself is well-equipped, with a clean and professional environment. The team atmosphere is incredible—everyone supports and pushes each other to be better. Highly recommend Crusader Combat Club!
I enjoy training BJJ and kickboxing with coach Manny. This is a great and safe environment if you are looking to surround yourself with others who want to learn self-defense, exercise, and build confidence inside and outside of the mats.
Come learn some great martial arts. The curriculum is top notch and we always have fun in class. The new location is super cool and spacious!
Great coach, curriculum, people, and culture.
Coaching/Curriculum - Coach has a great curriculum set up that adds upon itself as you go through making it easy to enroll as a new person and slowly build up, or as a more experienced person and fine tune your skill set. Coach is super approachable and open to questions throughout class. There’s a great balance of learning technique, actively working that technique in positional drills, and just opening rolling/sparring.
People/Culture - Everyone is super welcoming and open to working with you, whether it is just practicing as a hobby for health or going hard for more rigorous training or the more competitive mindset. Coach is open to outside people dropping in which improves the diversity of types of styles you can training with/against.
Highly recommend signing up if you’re looking to get started, looking for a new gym locally, or if you’re from out of town and just in temporarily.
Crusaders is an amazing gym with excellent instruction. I’ve trained both BJJ and wrestling and it’s an amazing atmosphere for anyone at any skill level.
did a drop in on a saturday and welcomed me with open arms. very knowledgeable instructor. teaches the small details to up your game when i’ve experienced that a lot of jujitsu instructors push for private classes for the small details. 🙏💯 highly recommend.
Combat crusaders club is a great gym with a great environment. I had my free trial classes and knew I would be signing up as a member immediately. Awesome gym.
CCC is definitely a great place to train. I received my JJ purple belt from Coach Manny at the age of 45 and it wasn’t easy as promotions are earned and not given here (the way it should be). Great & fun atmosphere, clean establishment and most important we the students are the focus.
This is a great place to train and sharpen your skills. Whether you are just trying to stay fit, stay active, self defense or fight professionally. This is a place where you can do it all at a reasonable price. Coach manny is an incredible instructor and very humble as well!
Great atmosphere. Perfect for anyone that wants to start a new journey , learn self defense, and get in shape at the same time. I’ve seen military veterans , first responders , doctors , and all walks of life interact together at the gym. They try to kill each other but they shake hands at the end 🤝 . Highly recommended.
Excellent coaching a good facility I showed uo for a class for a day and was treated very well when ever I'm in Dallas I will definitely be coming back
Been attending Jiujitsu classes Crusader combat club for a couple of months now and it’s been a blast! Coach Manny is an awesome coach and very knowledgeable. This is the best BJJ gym in oak cliff!
Both of my teen sons have trained hard here. The instructor is professional, practice challenging, and regimen tactical. We highly recommend Crusader, and the Professor!!
I joined Crusader Combat Club this week after thoroughly enjoying my 7 day free trial. I am enjoying my experience as a student of Manny. He is competent, professional, kind and is clearly passionate about what he is doing. I am already finding myself trusting him greatly. I look forward to continuing my jiu jitsu journey under his guidance.
A great quality gym placed right in oak cliff! Very knowledgeable instructor and creates a good culture for the gym. Professor manny makes anyone from beginner to expert feel welcome. 10/10 highly recommend
Finally a high quality Jiu jitsu/wrestler/mma gym in Oak Cliff. Quality instruction and friendly atmosphere. This is a gym for all people of any skill level, even if you have zero background in martial arts. Great place to train
Going in on my 3rd week @ Crusader Combat Club, my experience has been more than exceptional!! Professor Manny's instruction exemplifies the heart of a teacher! Patience, Commitment and Sincerity. Highly recommended for all, from little ones to all ages, looking to get active while learning Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu or other Martial Art available, Crusader Combat Club is the gym to be. Come by and check it out for yourself. Let's Roll!!!
This is a great gym! The Instructor, Manny, is really knowledgeable and an effective teacher. Crusader offers a variety of disciplines for both the novice and seasoned practitioner (BJJ, kickboxing, wrestling, and MMA). The facility is really nice and clean. There is adequate parking. The prices are really good compared to other gyms out there too. They also offer classes for kids and teenagers. The atmosphere really feels positive. The gym is in a really nice spot at Tyler station next to the brewery in Oak Cliff.
Crusader Combat club is a premier facility with even better instruction. Professor Manuel Martínez, combat veteran and professional mma coach has first hand combat experience in and out of the arena. I drive over 2hrs to train with him and his team for over 3 years now and look forward to the many sessions at his facility.
Manny is a fantastic martial artist and instructor. He is extremely well rounded and can help people of all levels improve. If you are anywhere near here do not hesitate to drop in and check it out.
My training with Manuel has been great! He's always attentive, patient and helps me overcome my insecurities and fears. He teaches me and is helping me develop great self defense skills while also helping me improve my cardio, strengthening and muscle conditioning. He's also very knowledgeable in post work out recovery, which was a plus for me.
If your looking to develop skills in Striking, Wrestling, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Crusader Combat Club is the spot. Owned and operated by a legit BJJ black belt, wrestler and all around knowledgable MMA coach. Swing through and experience it for yourself👊🏻
I couldn’t be happier with the training my kids received with Manuel. His patience, knowledge and skills helped build my kids confidence in themselves which is invaluable! If you are looking for somewhere for your kids to train BJJ, Crusader Combat Club is the place to be.
